[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 400702, member: 40343"] Hey Sid I'm with you on the bit I've quoted. Like you say once you lose weight and therefore insulin resistance and importantly you gain control of your lifestyle tolerance to carbs does seem to increase as mine certainly has and I enjoy taking advantage of that fact. Mine probably hasn't improved as much as yours but there again we are all different and I'm still a couple of years or so behind you. I hope my tolerance will further improve but until it does I would still rather carb restrict to keep healthy than take a load of hypo inducing and weight promoting drugs just so I can eat more rice, pasta, bread, cereals and potatoes. It's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. Relating it back to dieticians and specifically T2 then given that you agree that LC does work for newly diagnosed people then don't you think it should at least be presented to people as a formalised treatment method? That's my fundamental objection to those that are anti LC; they are denying a valid treatment method that has been adopted and is successfully practised in other countries. I think its good that the ADA seem to finally be waking up to fact that it works. It seems to be continuing the ADA trend of gradual acceptance of LC as a means of control over the past few years. For T1's the LC argument is subtly different and equally compelling but as I'm not T1 I wont comment further. Take care Steve [/QUOTE]
